I agree. Someone suggested that I try setting "NFS slow" option, that I am
overrunning the 8bit 8003 card. I will try that sometime today and let you
know what happens. Suggest any other experiments now, b4 I populate the
disk and cannot redo installs...
About the installation, I am using 2 identical disks (hope to use CCD) and
was pleased to see it deal with 2 disks. However I couldn't get it to use
sd1s1a (ie, a root partition) on the second drive. It wanted to start with
prtition e, NOT a. If I let it pick the sizes it did the good thing: abefg.
But assigning each size always started with e!
I just saw something disturbing last nite. I found that I can
"rsh {any of several 2.1.0-R machines}" <whatever> from the new 2.2-SNAP
but if I "rsh {2.2-SNAP} <whatever> from one of the 2.1-R machines it
always hangs. For example:
2.1-REL % rsh 2.2-SNAP ls
will do the 'ls', showing me everything in the 2.2-SNAP directory, but will
then be hung, even '^c' won't die, have to kiil from another term. I can
reproduce this 100% of the time, always the one direction only. This is
with hardware that has run previous versions of FreeBSD for years.
Any tests I can run for you???
A question, ld.so doesn't like my shared 2.1 executables. Can I
build a compat21 package, or must all dynamic execs be rebuilt?
Finally, I have been getting truncated "current-digest" mailings, anyone
else seen this?
